Making a Foundation for a Curly Hair Up-Do

Video Transcript

"LAUREN FARRAHER: My name is Lauren, and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to talk to you about curly hair updos that you can do at home. To begin your updo, you're going to want to part your hair. And now, I'm actually going to go through the entire updo with you step-by-step. Your partings, the first thing that you're going to want to do is take out the front part of your hair. You're going to want to hew your hair, go back here, drag it right behind the ear, and that's where your first separation is going to be. This front area, you can clip or you can just kinda wrap it around itself to keep it out of your way. A good way to keep your hair and put your hair up without having too much stress and--being a little bit easier is to actually use your zigzag patterns, which again is putting your tail comb in and just going back and forth with it. I like to separate the hair, and it makes your updo a little bit fuller as you go. So you can separate the hair into ponytails, leaving these front sections out 'cause you're going to come back to them later. Use your small-diameter rubber bands and just kinda place them in. You can usually wrap about three times. I like my updos a little bit on the fuller side in the back so I do three pony tails in order to separate the hair. What this crisscross pattern is going to do or this zigzag pattern is going to do is it's going to prevent those parts from being extremely noticeable when your hair is put into those three sections. Do you see how it's not a distinct part in between? You really want that. It's important to maintain the uniformity of the updo and also prevent holds from the updo and you having to go back and fix."
